Chapter 300 Six-legged Mobile Platform
Chapter 300 Six-legged Mobile Platform
Currently, unmanned warfare is mainly embodied in aircraft, and the ground front is mainly filled by people.
And it happens that this stage is the most in need of human lives.
Ordinary soldiers have limited loads on their bodies, and even if the protective measures are done well, many parts may not be fully protected in order to consider flexibility.
Look at the trench warfare being fought in the north. When the soldiers who met their love at the corner saw the enemy, their first reaction was to shoot randomly and retreat frantically.
Old M’s air strike capability is so strong, but when the war enters the middle stage, if you want to completely occupy and eliminate the enemy, you always need to enter the ground control and occupation stage, and every time at this time, they start to get stuck in the quagmire and suffer heavy losses.
So later they learned to be smart and tried to use air strikes to directly blow people up and try to avoid ground offensive battles.
But as people have more and more ways to deal with air strikes, the deterrent power of this trick has become lower and lower.
So although the old M has a strong strike capability, it can never defeat others. Even because of hatred, a large number of terrorist extremism has been bred, and it needs to fight every few years…
Therefore, the old M is probably the most enthusiastic about the research and development of war robots, but after all the efforts, it still has not formed effective combat power.
The most popular one at present is the mechanical dog of Boston Company, which is already on the battlefield.
But the actual combat power and function…
It can only be said that it is not even as good as a dog.
Whether it is speed, flexibility, or even load-bearing performance, it is very average.
And one costs 165,000 US dollars, equivalent to RMB 1.16 million.
Spending more than one million to buy a mechanical dog that is not even as good as a dog, this loss-making business is probably done by the M army who are afraid of ground offensive battles.
In addition to the mechanical dog, they also developed combat robots such as M5 and Uranus 9. These things look like tracked armored vehicles.
But in fact, the tactical positioning of this armored vehicle is very embarrassing.
What is the most feared thing in ground warfare? It is being trapped in urban street fighting and trench warfare!
But this bulky unmanned armored vehicle is no different from sending heads after entering these two scenes.
As for the field battles it can do?
Traditional tanks and armored vehicles are just as capable. They are not only cheap and strong, but also not afraid of electromagnetic interference.
It is precisely because of these reasons that although Lao M is clamoring for high-tech warfare and unmanned equipment every day, in fact, it is just a lot of noise and little rain. He dare not do this thing vigorously.
I am afraid that if the technology tree is wrong, someone will use EMP to hit the soul and destroy the national destiny.
However, this problem has been basically solved after Kang Chi has mastered quantum communication.
Quantum communication does not require the use of real carriers, so all electronic components can be wrapped tightly with anti-electromagnetic pulse materials, eliminating the threat of EMP from the root.
What Kang Chi needs to consider is what kind of war robot he should build.
Tracked live targets like M5 and Uranus 9 are definitely not suitable, and they are not practical at all.
As for heavy skeleton mechas like Iron Man that rely on human control, although they look handsome and sci-fi, they are actually sci-fi equipment designed to embody personal heroism.
If you have the technology, why do you have to put a person in it? One more person means hundreds of pounds of load and a lot of space out of thin air, and you have to add a lot of life support modules and operation modules such as air circulation.
If you have the time, wouldn’t it be better to add hundreds of pounds of ammunition or make it small?
And if you encounter an emergency, maybe people will come to kill you before you put on your armor.
In addition, in order to take into account the weak body, it is still restrained in fighting. For example, if it is hit by a shell, the machine may be fine, but the internal organs of the person inside are shattered…
But if there is no need to put people in it, why make it humanoid? If one leg of a two-legged device is broken, it will immediately lose its combat effectiveness.
In addition, the balance of two legs is not strong, and the load-bearing capacity is not good. In order to maintain balance, it takes more computing power and energy than multi-legged equipment. Therefore, multi-legged equipment such as mechanical dogs is actually good in direction itself, and the possibility of still having combat effectiveness after damage is much higher than that of bipedal robots..
However, for now, the technology of this equipment is far from reaching the level that can shine on the battlefield.
However, this is not a problem for Kang Chi at all, it can be solved by upgrading.
So in order to further improve the stability and flexibility of the equipment, Kang Chi directly referred to spiders and crabs and built a mobile platform with six legs, so that even if it was hit by a landmine, this thing might still be able to move.
[Item: Six-legged mobile platform]
[Manufacturer: Kang Chi]
[Item level: 1]
[Experience: 0/20000]
[Item status: intact]
[Item parameters: net weight 286KG, maximum load 150KG, no-load moving speed 5M/S, full-load moving speed 2M/S, working radius 5KM]
[Analysis items: no analysis items]
[General experience: 12843464]
[Mastery points: 55 (+30)]
This thing with a diameter of 1.5 meters and a height of 1 meter does look a bit like Urgot in LOL.
It just removes the upper body of Urgot, and the foot in contact with the ground is not so sharp, and has a three-claw sole design.
At the same time, because the protective armor has not been installed yet, it looks relatively slender at present.
In Kang Chi’s plan, this thing is a universal mobile platform. Whatever positioning war robot is needed, just install the corresponding weapon module on it.
From the parameters, this dreadnought actually has a certain degree of practicality, but it is still very different from what Kang Chi imagined, and it must be upgraded.
Unfortunately, the quantum communication chip has not been made yet, so it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product now, and it has to be upgraded after it is fully built.
Just as Kang Chi continued to design the “heavy firepower module” of the upper body, a call just happened to come in.
”Dr. Kang, the two sets of CS/LM16 14.5mm rotary machine guns you asked for have arrived. Do you need to send them in?”
”Well, send them directly to my laboratory.”
Under Kang Chi’s authorization, Dumont, the commander of the Pingfeng Mountain garrison, quickly brought a team and carried in two heavy Gatling guns made in China.
Chen Hai also came in at the same time.
Seeing that Kang Chi finally started to use these lethal weapons, Chen Hai was somewhat nervous. He directly took down the ammunition in the car and only asked Dumont to give Kang Chi two empty machine guns.
”Anyway, you can’t conduct live-fire shooting experiments in the laboratory. What if a ricochet occurs and you are hurt?”
Chen Hai explained with a serious face: “When you need live-fire shooting, just go to the training ground outside. At that time, you can ask the soldiers to assist you in the test.”
”Don’t worry, I’m not crazy.” Kang Chi immediately gave Chen Hai a reassuring look, “Doing live-fire shooting in the laboratory… Do you think I’m such a fearless person?”
Chen Hai: “…”
Although he was a little speechless, this kind of Kang Chi was the Dr. Kang he knew.
Just, It’s worry-free! (End of this chapter)
